    Ordered a Tricranius, so Transmutate, Trcranius and Wingfinger is my fossil combiner, still expensive for a deluxe. Nothing for me now until Tigatron shows up

    The effect parts so far have seen way more use because there’s a decent amount of them, and I don’t regret getting him purely for them, as he’s a decent figure in hand, I still wish he was a Predacon but with 20% off I’d say he’s reasonably priced with the extra bloooshes

    Why do they not have Slug in stock? I finally opened Grimlock on the weekend and now I need Slug and that Nonnef upgrade for him.

    Are you, like me, also swimming in the irony that Hasbro are taking decomposed dinosaurs out of the Earth to make them into tiny models of their skeletons (that are also robots, and, uh, "weaponry") to then sell to us, and we are lapping them up? :lol 

    And, oh, geez, it's taken me until to realise that RACTONITE is a type-of-stone spelling pun of "StyRACosaurus inTO KNIGHT".
    Sadly that leaves me no closer to naming my homebrew Maximal, think, Chris, think...

    Many of the Fossilisers are Girls.
    Not sure about the optics of that.

    Slag-slug is a repack in the next wave so there will be a second chance to get him.

    Picked up Mirage 2 pack and Hotlink in the sale, 25% off not bad!

    Anyone want the Maximal Grimlock + box/instructions for £30 shipped when it arrives?

    Got a SG Megs to replace my faulty one (while I wait for Pulse to reply to my refund/replace email) in the sale, sadly I pretty much already have everything else that I could have got discounted.

    Marvel Legends Iron Monger is tempting though...

    Another Gnaw? Surely you don't need the backdrop? I'll take it if not!

    I've akready got you down for Dino backgrounds, but if you don't want this one, I'll take that too!






    This'll get repetitive folks. Just do everyone a favour and send me your stuff

    I agree, but unfortunately once the rest of the Headmasters came out during Titans Return he had to vacate my collection due to my one figure per character rule :( 

    I'm not a scale nut but he was a big boi compared to the rest!

    This is the only reason I got rid of him. If the others had been voyagers, I would have happily kept T30 brainstorm he was a great figure, but it would have bothered me way too much if he towered over his teammates like that. Plus, matching style of headmasters.

    I think that one of the things about the T30 version is that his headmaster gimmick is a lot more involved unlike the cookie cutter Titans Return one. Makes him stand out, wish they did the others.

    That fucking PotP vote, man.

    I know, right? It's almost a shame they didn't get more time on page together.

    Big Motorvator or we riot!

    I've been having a wonderfully leisurely re-read of Elektra: Assassin recently. It remains my favourite Frank Miller work. How I wish that instead of everyone wanting to ape The Dark Knight Returns a whole generation had taken inspiration from the zany irreverence and joyful experimentation of this. As everyone from Grant Morrison to Ed Piskor has noted, The Dark Knight isn't an 'adult' work, it's adolescent. For me, with it's unclenched 'give a shit' attitude, Elektra: Assassin feels like the truly adult piece (and I'd probably add Hard Boiled in there for very similar reasons).
